In this video, I break down how to do hard things that actually move the needle—in business, in life, and in who you are becoming.

Doing random hard stuff for the sake of it won’t make you stronger.
Putting a rock in your shoe and running 10 miles? That’s just pain.

You need purposeful hardship—done consistently.

Here’s what I cover:

  • What historical figures like Roosevelt and JFK taught us about hard things
  • The “Hard Things Equation” that creates transformation
  • Why daily discomfort beats once-a-year suffering
  • How to choose your one hard thing (and stick with it)
  • Why most people never grow—and how to make sure you do

💥 The Hard Things Equation:
→ Push forward against your own desire
→ Do it daily
→ Stick with it until it becomes habit
→ Then, find the next hard thing

You don’t need to be reckless. You need to be intentional.
And that’s what separates the people who change… from those who stay stuck.
